In this tutorial you will learn how to load an external swf file in Flash using Action Script 2.0 (AS2).

We will create a button on the main timeline, clicking which will load up the external swf file as well as a close button. Clicking the close button will unload the external swf file and cause the close button to disappear.

Let’s begin!

Let’s assume the external swf file is named ‘external.swf’

1. In the main timeline create a button. You can put the text ‘Click Me’ on this button.

2. On the ‘Click Me’ button put the following AS2 code:

on (Release) {
_root.mymc._visible = true;
_level0.mymc.holder_mc.loadMovie(“external.swf”);
}

2. In the main timeline create a movie clip called ‘mymc’

3. Within ‘mymc’ create another movie clip called ‘holder_mc’ and a button. You can put the text ‘close’ on this button.

4. On the close button put the following AS2 code:

on (Release) {
_root.mymc._visible = false;
_level0.mymc.holder_mc.unloadMovie(“external.swf”);
}

That’s it!
